FLNG project complexity is not a function of size… most often it is proportional to the lack of alignment between all stakeholders

Brazil pre-salt, a new frontier…. new challenges
6Source: ANP, HRT, Petrobras
• Total area of 149,000 Km2 (~300-350km off the coast)• Only 2% of Brazilian sedimentary area• Only 28% of the area under concession• ~50 Billion Boe potential… ~40 Tcf natural gas
• ~7,000m of saltwater, sand, salt layer & rock• Well engineering (salt layer, ~granite hardness, 1,000
psi, High CO2, water/gas injection)• Flow assurance (near freezing temperatures, paraffin deposition, hydrate and scaling control)• Production (depth and pipeline thickness, shifting ocean currents, marinisation of remote production systems)• Remote operations at depths that would crush a submarine require complex technological systems• A dry hole can cost ~$150 – 200 million

Gas flaring… from waste to opportunity

• ~145 Bcm/yr flared or ~2.3 mmbbl/d or ~3% of production
• ~33% of European consumption ~ $56 bn @ $10/mmbtu
• Nigeria - 22 Mtpa LNG in ~10 years

• LNG Tankers and FSRU are well established
• FLNG is in post Shell Prelude mode… “design one, build many”… where is the next one ?
• When will ~1-2 Mtpa FLNGs start to occur ?
•• Marine CNG should find good applications Marine CNG should find good applications in complementing offshore production in complementing offshore production systems, gas gathering and floating systems, gas gathering and floating production systems, including FLNGproduction systems, including FLNG
• Refrigeration & pressure have improved CNG compression ratios from 250:1 to 450:1
•• Utilization of composite materials increases Utilization of composite materials increases the possibilities to transport raw gasthe possibilities to transport raw gas
• Delivery system commercial feasibility estimated up to ~2,000 to 3,000 km

Marine CNG applications
UPSTREAM•Increase Existing Oil Production (remove gas handling constraints)•Enable New Oil Production (provide associated gas solution / flare reduction)•Connect Satellite or Marginal Fields (floating gas gathering system)•Connect Remote Area / Deep-water Fields (substitute expensive submarine pipelines)•Production from High Sulfur, H2S, CO2 Fields (transport raw gas to gas treatment plants)•Compliment LNG Production (additional gas supply to LNG on-shore or FLNG)•Early Production / Extended Well Testing Large/Giant Fields (temporary gas solution)
MIDSTREAM / DOWNSTREAM•Transport Raw Gas (offshore platform or onshore gas treatment plant)•Sale of Treated Gas (regional / niche markets / switching from liquid petroleum fuels)
STRATEGIC•Stranded Gas Monetisation (accelerate reserve bookings and increase production)•Leverage Unique Solution (entry into new fields)•Gas Supply to LNG Plants with Unutilised Capacity (tolling gas to increase equity LNG)

What role could marine CNG play in Brazil ?
15Note: SyEnergy estimate for Lula, Iracema, Guara, Iara, Jupiter, Parati, Caramba, Carioca, Bem-Te-Vi, Mexilhao, Franco, Sabia & Libra fields
• Campos & Santos fields* hold ~42 billion barrels of gross recoverable oil reserves and ~40 Tcf of gas reserves (~25 Tcf associated)
• Marine CNG could complement pipelines on the ~5-6 Bcf/d gas gathering system
•• Marine CNG offers complimentary synergies for Marine CNG offers complimentary synergies for connected or remote FLNG production systemsconnected or remote FLNG production systems
•• Marine CNG could provide additional gas supply Marine CNG could provide additional gas supply to major cities and power plants along the coastto major cities and power plants along the coast
• Injection into existing coastal pipeline system reducing need/costs of compression stations
• Short travel distances to areas with limited infrastructure unlocking further CCGT growth
•• Opportunity to supply regional gas demandOpportunity to supply regional gas demand
Marine CNG increases gas supply to FLNG
• Scalability (adaptable to production profile ramp up and down)
• Flexibility (variable production rate and storage needs on-shore / on-boat)
• Re-deployability (relocation/repositioning within field, basin or another geography)
• Shorter Development and Deployment Schedule (improved time-to-market & economics)
• Lower Overall Capex $/mmbtu than Alternatives (competitive cost / market price)
• Lower Overall Opex $/mmbtu than Alternatives (attractive market price / supplier margin)
• Wider Portfolio Application (“design few models and build many” – standardization of solution)
• Enable Monetisation of Previously Stranded Hydrocarbons (increase reserve bookings)
• Simpler, Faster and Less Capital Intensive Development of Receiving Terminals / Buoys (able to reach larger number of smaller markets and improved value creation for both parties)
